From what I can tell [0], the latest commit to XChat was in 2011. 
Is this the software you packaged, or did you perhaps intend to 
refer to HexChat [1], a maintained fork?

Did the participants in #Guix who objected to including XChat in 
Guix provide any reasons for their objections?  Understanding what 
specifically they disliked about your recipe or the upstream
